Do you need to be surrounded by friends/ people all the time or you actually enjoy having time to yourself doing things that you like?

I think we all need some time without being surrounded by people. I enjoy having some 'me' time and I encourage everone to take that time because it allows you to recharge your batteries before going back into the fray of daily life. When I take 'me' time I read a book and/or listen to good music that I like, as I don't have to consider anyone else for the brief time that is mine. LOL

Not quite. Because I am a loner. Sometimes I enjoy being with people but most of the time, I'm happy with my family and just being with them is just enough for me.

No, I don't need to be surrounded all the time. If that happened I think I would go crazy. Everyone needs time to their self, just to relax & recoup from the things going on around them. Alone time is a necessity.

It depends - sometimes I like having lots of people around me but other times I like being on my own. I like my own space so don't want others around me all the time. There's a difference between being alone and lonely. I've had some of my loneliest moments when I was with someone I didn't want to be with.

Usually I'm a very social creature but there are occasions when I need my own space, so I make it. Some years ago I went through a bad patch of misanthropy and became a recluse -- tricky for someone whose friends and acquaintances numbered in the hundreds -- but in that time I did a lot of contemplation and went to places in my mind where I just couldn't go with others around. I was glad of the opportunity to do this. Now I live in China and it's pretty difficult to get time on my own,-- people, people everywhere.

No I don't like to be surrounded by people all the time, I am no celebrity. But at the same time being lonely for a long time is also not as per my liking.
